Spud- I see the problem now.
The links can and do activate the fan switch properly, just as if you pressed the switch on the fan controller itself. The problem comes in when you want HS to know the current state of the fan controller.
As it operates now, there is no way to know if the button is pressed manually.
So if you want an event set the fan speed to medium when its hot, but someone had already manually set it to high, you don't want to lower the speed. Just an example why HS needs to properly track the fan controller state.
I don't know if its possible because of the nature of the fan controller to do this with a plugin or not.
